Preacher man says it's the end of time   Mississippi shes goin dry   Stockmarkets down   Taxes are up and    Your only gettin mugged if ya go downtown      I live back in the woods, you see   The woman the kids and the dogs and me   I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive   A country boy can survive   Country folks can survive      I can plow a field all day long   I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn   Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too   Ain't too many things these 'ol boys can't do (including Bocephus)   We grow good 'ol tomatoes and homemade wine   And a country boy can survive   Country folks can survive      'Cause you can't starve us out   And you can't make us run   We'll survive the new millennium   We say grace and we say ma'am   If you ain't into that we don't give a damn      We came from the West Virginia coal mines   And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies   If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine   'Cause a country boy can survive   Country folks can survive      I had a good friend in New York City   Never called me by my name, just Hillbilly   But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife   For 43 dollars my friend lost his life      I'd like to spit some beech nuts in that dude's eye   And shoot him with my ol' 45   Cause a country boy can survive   Country folks can survive      'Cause you can't starve us out   And you can't make us run   We'll survive the new millennium   We say grace and we say ma'am   If you ain't into that we don't give a damn      We're from North Carolina and South Alabam   And little towns all around this land   If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine   And a country boy can survive   Country folks can survive   A country boy can survive   Country folks can survive      Any year, any time
